Language Quiz 21 November 202120 November 2021 By Simon Here’s a recording in a mystery language. Do you know or can you guess the language, and do you know where it’s spoken?
The timbre of the voice reminds me of something from Indonesia as does the word “salaam” so maybe it’s from the Malayo-Polynesian family?
The language is Awngi (አውጚ), a Central Cushitic language spoken in northern Ethiopia. The recording comes from YouTube

Not quite. It’s actually spoken in Africa.
Just guessing: Is it Bamum (Cameroon)?
